Protoss has no way to deal with brood lords and infestors. Zerg late' game too good. Terran can't deal with Protoss late game.

Basically, Terran is a early to mid game race, zerg is early and late, and protoss is just late game.

We need the expansion to help with this. Just like SC 1 need BW to help them.

Sad fact of life is that even if I get the beta I'll probably be playing Diablo III =/. Pretty unfortunate timing there.

How do I get into the HOTS beta? I will sell my soul. Just tell me what I need to do.

Hot_Bid will find cruel ways to hand out beta keys.

its better to release the beta asap imo, so they can get immediate feedback on the new units and the subtle gameplay changes they are trying to incorporate. I just hope the keep the beta up in a lengthy time frame so that they have the time to actually make good changes and not just rush the game out.

I must become a part of the beta. I simply must.

That's how I got mine for WoL. ^_^

Specifically, I sung that Countries of the World song by the Animaniacs

There have been a lot of things I've had issues with as far as SC2 is concerned. I won't list them all, but the big ones are tournament support (a lot of regames and disconnects), the approach used in balancing (some of the reasoning presented for changes made, I find bonkers) and map rotation/ map community support. After the reveal of HOTS, I was really disappointed at some of the new things that appeared stupidly overpowered and others that seemed almost pointless.

I'm not a some blind bandwagon consumer. I vote with my wallet. If the beta units, the balancing in the beta, and community support doesn't take a huge leap forward, blizzard can kiss my 60$ goodbye. I hope they hit it out of the park, I hope they shut me up with quality. However, I'm not spending a dime if they continue to ignore the community, it's needs and desires, and use the silly approach to balancing they've used in the past.

Interested to see how this goes, and who/how people get beta keys. Ugh, I hate hunting for beta keys, seems I spend all my time doing nothing but.

Was hoping for a major revamp of Protoss (in particular warp gates). So far HOTS is just a few extra units.

Poor form by Blizzard.

going from SC vanilla to BW was very similar. A few units added, maybe some others tweaked. It's not surprising they wouldn't try to completely reinvent the wheel with this game expansion.

I hope the Beta is short and the actual game comes out around September 20th(which is my birthday!).

Haha, I bet if I get into the HotS beta, I'm just going to only play Nexus Wars on it just like what I did with the WoL beta lol.

And then I will brag about it and make y'all angry at me.

I hope TL Beta Roulette returns. I heard that was pretty epic.
